Ron Paul (R-TX) issued a challenge in June of 2008. It was a call for Congress to challenge the authority of the Federal Reserve.

If you haven't heard Dennise Kucinich (D-OH) display his outrage over the Federal Reserve on the floor of Congress, well, it's time you did. He's done it a number of times. here's one from Jan. 09.

And in case you didn't know that some in Congress are fed up with the Fed and its secrecy, well, here's Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND).

So, why are these members of Congress speaking out forcefully against the current monetary system and the Federal Reserve? Because they recognize the sham.

These members of Congress are calling for the Fed to be placed under the oversight of the Federal Government. Why? Because it isn't. It isn't the government and apparently the government has no power to compel to do anything, including disclose the whereabouts of $2 trillion in American securities.

Fortunately, we still ahve a free press. And media has to power to bring this monumental issue to light. At present, there is no more pressing issue for national media (with the exception of the illegal, unethical and immoral wars our nation continues to conduct with impunity) than exposing the secret machinations conducted by the Federal Reserve.

I put together a video that CNN showed. It draws forth facts about the Federal Reserve and its insistence in thumbing its nose at Congress, the Courts and the American people. These are the facts. Check it out:

The only hope we have is not in Congress, which is complicit, or in Obama, who sold out long before he invited a Fed Fox in the guise of Timothy geithner to watch the hendhouse, or even the Judicial branch of government, which sits idly by twittling its nervous thumbs.

The only hope we have is invested in the Fourth Estate. And given the gravity of this issue and the lack of coverage it is receiving, I strongly suspect that someone or some group has already purchased the Fourth Estate at a bargain price.
